Building a Smokehouse Curriculum Kit The Geometry of Prisms Author: Jerry Lipka, Melissa Kagle, Valerie Barber, Ferdinand Sharp, Anthony Rickard The mathematics in this module is set in the context of the Yup'ik people's main summer subsistence fishing season. Students grades 6-7 learn how to build a smokehouse modeled after the ones currently used by the Yup'ik people. In the process, they will acquire and utilize the math skills — geometry skills in particular — necessary for the problems they encounter. The kit includes curriculum, one poster, and Yup'ik glossary on CD-ROM. Building a Smokehouse: The Geometry of Prisms is part of the Math in a Cultural Context series, a supplemental math curriculum based on the traditional wisdom and practices of the Yup'ik Eskimo people of southwest Alaska.
